I picked this up at a sale, not quite realising what it was. Before you jump at this priceless piece of hardware, make sure you understand what it is.
USB 4000i by SIIG, has 4 of the rectangular slots and 1 of the square type (A, B whatever). This is on a card which sits (mechanically) in an ISA slot on your computer, and gets its power from a cable in the same way that a disk drive does. The hub is not bit-wise connected to the PC in any way. A person looking at the back of a PC with this card in, will probably assume that it's a usb host adapter and expect the ports to be live. If you want them live, then you have to already have a USB port on the PC and connect from that port with a USB cable to the hub card. If you're going to have something USB in your PC, it would be better to spend $20 at Intrex and get a 4 port USB v2.0 PCI host adapter. Anyhow it's your's if you want it.
